Mini-Trip to the Future · Christmas Edition

Step in. We are travelling to Christmas 2031.

A 60-minute trip, one-to-one, to the moments where your dream has already come true. A break from the rush, just before the new year begins. You come back with one clear picture you can share with others, and the first step you will actually take in 2027.

Ideal for a personal question you want to explore. Or as a gift.

Imagine this

It is Christmas Eve 2031. The lights are on, and you look back on a few years that still make you smile. That step you kept circling around? Taken. That dream that went blurry every time you tried to grasp it? You are standing right in the middle of it.

And then the big question: how did that happen?

That is the moment we go looking for. Literally. On the Mini-Trip you board the time shuttle with me and we visit three moments where it has already worked out. It is a serious, proven method: I have been using it for 17 years with teams at Efteling, ING and ABN AMRO, among others.

This is the compact version, just for you. Right at the moment the old year draws to a close and the new one has yet to begin.

And once you can see the future, you start to long for it.

When this trip helps

For when you...


want to pause just before the new year and think about where you are heading.

The crossroads

...are standing at a crossroads.

A new role, your own business, a different course. You do not want to start the new year with the same old list of pros and cons.

The vague dream

...have a dream that has travelled with you for years.

But it blurs as soon as you try to bring it into focus. You sense there is more to it. Only the picture is missing.

The daily grind

...never find a moment to look beyond next week.

December is packed and your diary is in charge. Yet you are the one who is supposed to look ahead.

The postponed decision

...keep putting off a big decision.

Because it does not feel ready yet. It will not get there on its own. It will once you have seen it.

Impression

This is what you get when you board


No workshop, no webinar. A trip, with a ticket, a shuttle and a strict but fair cabin crew.

Your ticket and your dream

Beforehand you fill in a short intake form: your dream in one sentence, the future year we travel to, and three moments where it has worked out perfectly. From that, I create your personal travel code.

Opted for the travel kit with Christmas extras? It will arrive at your home in good time. Apart from that, you need to bring nothing. Except your imagination.

Three stops in your future

We launch. Commander Nova (strict, but she wants you to win) flies us to your future year. There we visit three stops: moments where it has already worked out. At every stop we look for the evidence together: how did that happen?

On board, flight rules apply. "Yes, but", "no" and "can't" do not exist up here. You will notice what that does.

Your personal travel report

After landing you receive your travel report: a personal page with how the trip went, the three stops, the route map back to today and your top five insights, each one backed up.

No notes gathering dust in a drawer. A destination you keep coming back to throughout the new year.

"If I want something different, I have to dare to take that step. There may be ups and downs, but it will take me to the green landscape."

Questions

Good to know


Can I give a Mini-Trip as a gift?

Of course. Tick the gift option when booking. You receive a gift ticket to pass on, and the recipient chooses the date.

What is the travel kit with Christmas extras?

A small kit of items we use during the trip, with a festive Christmas touch. You tick the box when booking and it is delivered to your home.

Can't make it in December?

Then come along in January. The perfect moment to bring the new year into focus.

Can it be done in Dutch?

Yes, the Mini-Trip is also available in Dutch, as the Mini-Reis naar de Toekomst.

In short: start the new year with a clear picture of where you want to go.
